Audiovox Thera - $99 At Verizon Wireless
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
While the Samsung i700, in my opinion, comes close to being the ultimate CDMA Pocket PC Phone, it's not cheap -- $599 with two-year contract, to be precise. 8O And since Verizon doesn't let Amazon or other companies resell their product, discounts aren't readily available. If that's out of your budget, and you need Verizon coverage, there's an alternative -- the Audiovox Thera.
It's not a mind-blowing Pocket PC -- in fact, it's a Pocket PC 2002 device (no planned upgrade to WM2003), with a 206MHz StrongARM processor and a reflective display -- and mediocre battery life. However, it is currently selling for $99 from Verizon with a contract, which is very cheap. (I don't know if it requires a 2-year contract for that price, or if a 1-year contract is enough.)
